A SERIOUS POINT RAISED.
Will the Compiled Laws of Dakota
Ever BE Used!

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: The
new code Of Dakota which was CON-
piled by Messrs. Caldwell, of this city,
and Price, Of Highmore, is over a
month overdue by contract, and twenty
days overdue by the law, and still the
anxious people are waiting but how
patiently, the Argus-Leader does not
like to say. The delay in getting out
this book will make good many peo-
pie in Sioux Falls and Dakota pretty
indignant at the compilers who refused
to let any Dakota house take the job,
OH the ground that they could not get
it out in the time specified. For IN
stance, Sam T. Glover. OF the Bell pub
fishing company, put in bid for the
work, giving $4,000 bonds to get it
out by November 1st-sixty days from
the time the copy was to be put into
the hands of the printers. But Mr..
Caldwell induced the Bell publishing
company to Withdraw its bid, on the
ground that it could not make the con-
nections, adding that the compilers
would hold any house rigldly to the
contract. 1t was, therefore, taken out
of the territory and given to the Omaha
Herald Publishing company. The con-
tract time expired on Noyemberl. NO.
vember has Sided away into the great
past, December has come and still Da-
kota people see nothing of the codilied
laws. Considering the fact that Da-

there is Just reason to be indignant at
the compilerS for the present favorlt-
ism shown to outside companies.
But this is not the most serious as

Dear Bell: I'll write you short letter
To say I'm wonderfully better;
How much that means you ought to
know.
Who saw me just one month ago
Thin, nervous, fretful, white as chalk,
Almost too weak to breathe or talk;
Head throhbing, as ii lit for breaking,
A weary, ever-present aching.
But now life seems 4 different thing:

It's driven all my ills away:

Tho Typical American,

America is entirely too cosmopolitan to
furnish, as yet any one of her citizens
who can be accepted as the typical Ameri-
can. Our population is today more di-
verse than When the thirteen colonies
were settled. AS nation we are a unit,
but as people, in the chronological sense,
we have not vet commenced to exist. And
why should we: No race was ever formed
in so short time as has elapsed since the
settlement of America, to say nothing of
the constant accessions to our population
from every country in the world.
May be in 1,000year from now we shall
have begun to develop the typical Ameri-
can, but not short of that time.-San
